The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square Starship N45FL, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Auckland International Airport (NZAA). This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 2,816 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 115 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Auckland International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 59°F temperature and a 6-knot wind at 250°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a 5-knot headwind. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport and took the aircraft from 1,033 feet above sea level to 28,010 feet, an increase of 26,977 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute level cruise 11 miles southwest of Limestone Downs Airport (NZLD). This phase of the flight lasted 75 minutes and covered a distance of 325 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 14 miles west of Culverden, which took it from 27,978 feet to 928 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,050 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 216.0° at 3 nautical miles and 809 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 10,790 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots.
The touchdown point was 207 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 88 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 46°F temperature and a 2-knot wind at 210°, with no crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 4,311 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, taking 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,391 pounds of fuel.

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH) on runway 20. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 216.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 809 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 88 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 207 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe distance. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 100 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The aircraft's descent rate was impressive, with a touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 46°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The runway length of 10,790 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance was 4,311 feet, which is approximately 40% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land and roll out efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
